sagetv hanging machine after constant use for a few days?

[bodgadle]

Hi all,

Just experiencing some weirdness today. My epia M9000 box seemed to hang earlier today, bit odd since it had been on running sage for about 3 days no problem at all (constantly).

Anyway, i deleted all the files in the video folder since there was only 5gb left (this is the rule i setup in sage, but why didnt it remove the files itself?) and restarted sage, told it to record a program this afternoon, so i left it to it.

I switched on my tv and the picture had frozen, the h/d light on the box was constantly on but hte pc was not responding to mouse or keyboard at all.

so i rebooted, did the whole video thing again.

this time i left winTV2000 recording for a couple of hours, just to make sure the machine was fine.

no problems, recorded 2 hours of random rubbish.

so i flicked sage back on. told it to record an hour's worth of tv.

Came back downstairs to check on it, picture had frozen again, h/d light on constantly and machine not responding to anything.

Just ran a scandisk on the drive, no errors reported and drive isn't particulary fragmented either.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Thanks

Maybe its overheating? Try doing some more isolated test cases of long recording times with the different applications to get some more data.

Hi Jeff,

I already did, as i said in the post, i recorded 2 hours of random stuff with WinTV and that worked fine, then tried with sage and it hung
